MLB Picks

unday Night Baseball on ESPN isn’t the most exciting matchup we’ve seen this season but should provide for a competitive game with Nick Pivetta and Deam Kremer going at it. It’s definitely one of the tougher games to handicap on Sunday’s card! Get our Bos/Bal pick here!

For those not familiar with 30-year old pitcher Koehi Arihara, he has a 3-7 record and 5.49 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in the minors over two seasons. His Major League debut consisted of a 5.2 inning start in which he allowed a combined 11 hits and walks. There’s nothing that makes us think he won’t struggle again Sunday at Target Field against Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins. Kelly’s stats are very deceptive due to an outing in which he gave up 10 earned runs. Get our Tex/Min betting prediction here!

In his last start, Chicago White Sox starter Dylan Cease gave up 3 runs for time since May 24th. He’ll face Aaron Civale, who runs hot and cold but hasn’t pitched well in day games this season. The Sox “big bats” are all back in action too. Get our CWC/Cle prediction here!

Mike Minor and Zach Thompson are the kind of pitchers that oftentimes allow as many runs as innings pitched. A forecasted 24% chance of rain and winds blowing in at 5mph still might not be enough to keep this game going over the posted total of 8!

Saturday Major League Baseball action closes out with the Miami Marlins and Braxton Garrett vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers and Dustin May. Garrett has looked absolutely unhittable at times this season (and knocked around when he’s not on) and May returns from a long layoff and will surely be on a short pitch count. Expect a bullpen game from the Dodgers and a sneaky high-value loud barking underdog wager opportunity from the Fish. Get our Mia/LAD bet recommendation here!

Get your popcorn ready for the featured MLB game of the night as the Houston Astros and Cristian Javier take on the Atlanta Braves and Spencer Strider. Both right-handers have produced fantastic results this season! Get our Hou/Atl free pick here!

Johnny Cueto has had a nice season for the White Sox and Shane Bieber has allowed two runs or less in five of his last six starts. Something has to give Saturday at Progressive Field! Get our CWS/Cle betting prediction here!
